Redundancy is difficult for everyone involved. A fair, well-managed process helps employees understand what is happening, access the right support and leave with dignity. It also helps employers demonstrate good practice, maintain trust and protect working relationships during a period of change.
Good redundancy practice starts with clear communication, careful planning and genuine consideration for the people affected. Employers should be able to explain the business reasons for the proposal, consult meaningfully, apply fair selection criteria where required and give employees practical help to prepare for what comes next.
Outplacement support is one way to provide that help. It gives employees structured, practical guidance at a time when they may feel uncertain, while supporting the employer to manage the process with care, consistency and professionalism.
Speak with our consultants to explore your options.
Outplacement services can be offered to staff at any level from C suite executives to on-the-floor staff. Demonstrating commitment, fairness and support to those experiencing a time of stress is central to what many businesses value as part of their CSR strategy.
Our HR consultants work with employers to design and deliver support that is appropriate to the circumstances, the individuals affected and the needs of the business. This may include one-to-one guidance, group workshops or a tailored programme for senior leaders, managers or operational teams.
